FamilyMan 0 Posted September 6, 2011 Everyone, I just wanted to recommend Kurt at TRAKS Gunsmithing in Andover (near Sparta). He did a great job resurrecting my Browning BDM (see photo attached). It had a botched Aluma-Hyde II job and was just a mess. It worked but looked so bad I was embarrassed to bring it out. Now I like to just pull it out and dry fire it. He blasted off the old finish and put 3 separate coats on it to get the matte look we wanted. And the price was too low to mention. I brought by friend who just inherited some guns and he is doing a great job for him as well (finishing and regular gunsmithing). Plan on using Kurt whenever I can.

hiker88 22 Posted September 10, 2011 The real question is..... Does he Duracoat? From their website they say they do. They also do hot bluing and parkerizing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HavocMan 13 Posted February 17, 2017 So, yeah, I'm dragging this thread back to life ... cuz I'm wondering if Kurt is still Great. Anybody have anything done recently? I have a Commander-sized S&W 1911 that needs a trigger job and some slide work....maybe even a new slide, since I'm not really into the fish scale serrations that S&W's puts on their 1911's. Also, does he do DuraCoat? What about bluing and parkerizing? ;P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
